I was finally able to make some progress on the issue. I have
installed git with cygwin, so CR problems anymore. Though the
following is still open:
1. docs/INSTALL [1] says that a mere configure is sufficient.
Unfortunately it is not. You need to pass --host=mingw32 otherwise
it won't execute ar correctly and some other stuff will fail.
Should I provide a PR?
That surprises me a bit. The Cygwin project itself seems to offer curl
7.37.1 packages so at least some people keep building curl with cygwin.
Doesn't --host=mingw32 imply some sort of cross-compile?
Did you use the configure script from the 7.38.0 release archive or did
you generate your own from git?

$ LANG=C git branch
* (detached from curl-7_38_0)
master
Executed ./buildconf and ran configure without passing host. At some
point make exits with:
libtool: link: /usr/bin/ar cru .libs/libcurl.a libcurl_la-file.o
libcurl_la-timeval.o libcurl_la-base64.o libcurl_la-hostip.o

$ which ar

I am clueless here...
2. make install still throws sed errors like:
sed: -e expression #1, char 3: unknown command: `.'
I was able to tackle at least one to
docs/libcurl/opts/Makefile.in:700: | sed -n '/\.3[a-z]*$$/p'; \
Unfortunately, I have no idea what is wrong with that expression.
The Makefile.in files are generated by automake, and if that's the file
from the source archive it was made by automake 1.14.1 on my machine...
The error looks strange too since character 3 is just a dot that is
escaped with a backslash, nothing odd! I don't understand it.
This is less of a problem now.
